All male GC members posting in the thread HAD responded as such.

I've already grown tired of pointing out that sweeping things under the carpet is a dangerous and slippery slope.

In my chapter, if you are caught using cocaine, you get expelled. This makes the whole idea of cocaine at our parties absolutely absurd.
If your chapter has no risk management issues associated with narcotics then all well and good. That doesn't mean that generally speaking it a) doesn't happen in greek life, or b) it isn't frequent (or that it is). In any case, I'm not the blog author.
Do you want to cite sources for your sweeping generalizations about risk management issues? I just served as a national officer for four years, and declined a position on our Executive Council for this biennium. I know the issues inside and out.

You are basically citing a blog and hearsay as evidence, while offering no credentials for your expertise. The best part is how you claim that "all male GC members posting in the thread HAD responded as such." Only two male GCers have posted in this thread. Me and Coramoor. Since you are excluding me from your statistical analysis, you are citing a random sample of one person. You take this anti-intellectual foundation, and then you want a rational discourse about the irrational. Why are you so surprised that no one takes you seriously?
